User Reviews

The app offers useful nautical information and weather forecasts for Croatia's waters, appreciated by some users. However, registration issues, mainly due to non-receipt of PIN codes, prevent many users from accessing it. The app also has privacy concerns due to excessive permission requests. Users report missing chart locations in key areas and frequent app crashes or loading failures. Weather forecast updates sometimes do not work, limiting its effectiveness.

Pros

The app is a nice and simple useful resource for those on the sea in Croatia.
Provides nautical information relevant to Croatian waters.
Includes weather forecasting features for maritime use.

Cons

Registration process is problematic: users often do not receive the SMS PIN code needed to register, preventing app usage.
App demands many permissions and personal data without clear reasons, causing privacy concerns.
Reliability issues with anchorage charts and missing locations in South Adriatic regions.
Weather forecast updating sometimes fails or does not work for some users.
App crashes during or after registration, and sometimes fails to open or load properly.

Recent reviews

As a nautical app I'd prefer the windspeed in kts(knots) instead of m/s. I cannot see option in settings to change it. BTW, is the wind map valid for gusts or just average wind speed?
